  Unfortunately, the tax deductibility of margin interest for cryptocurrency traders on Webull is a gray area. While margin interest is generally tax deductible for traditional securities trading, the IRS has not provided clear guidance on whether it applies to cryptocurrency trading. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
